I am getting old even though most people think 45 is young! Yeah, tomorrow is my birthday. I am looking forward to celebrating like I always do!
Today was the start of my partying! I hope I don't get a hangover--not from drinking but from all the excitement! I just got back from lunch w/a dear friend; bless her heart she paid for my lunch.
I hope my husband doesn't get depressed because his cat seems ill & we might lose her! He has been worried about her for several days & even cried because she is not eating! I remember the last time one of our cats died, we both cried. I think I mentioned years ago that that cat & I had issues. I actually had to take a time out & call I friend so I would'nt hurt her. Long story. Right decision. I didn't do anything to her. I just got upset because she was doing what cat's do--knocked a bunch of stuff over including the telephone. But that is over & was a long time ago. I won't go there.
Back to the reason why I posted today. I am actually glad that I decided to post today. I am usually very anxious about my birthday. I almost always have major issues this time of year anyhow. I guess I got it over w/ when I went to see my family in May. I don't have to do that again!
Have a great day everyone! I will be back on Monday to let you all know how my day went. It will be good; I am determined to make it so. I won't try to control; just enjoy!
Happy Birthday ! and may all your wishes come true Today is actually my birthday and I'd kill to be 45 again, well maybe not kill but possbily mame someone to turn back the clock lol. Enjoy your day Blessings
Oh how funny Xeno!! ((((Kathleen)))) Haoli la hanau...(happy birthday in my cultural language) and 45!! I wouldn't kill to be that again except myself...that is how rough it got for me. There isn't enough money in the world to excite or intice me back into 45. Been there and done that and have the ripped tee shirts to prove it.
All I have is today and all of the great lessons, feedback and support to be able to stay in today without hurting myself or others. One reason why I come here. Was speaking with one of my recovering friends this morning about "life" and he and I agreed that life is about the Good and the Bad and that HP is present for both, all during the journey and that is true for whatever happens and how it comes out. We agreed that we have the opportunity on how we perceive our lives...as good, as as bad, just "as" and that we are fully attended by HP no matter. "God is" period.
Glad I have the fellowship that offers me choices cause without it I'm toast!
Kathleen and Xeno, LOL .. happy birthday and enjoy the day you guys!! I'm sorry 45 is soooo NOT old!! I'm riding the ring there shortly!!
P :)
